Summer Yoga & Health Retreat
Join me for this weekend's yoga and health retreat, where we will take the time out to focus on moving and breathing to re-wire the nervous system and brain. An opportunity to press the reset button on your health for 2024.
This health retreat will be held 90 minutes north of Sydney in Killcare, on pristine acreage surrounded by native gardens. The perfect environment to relax- take a dip in the swimming pool- or a short 10 minutes to the nearest beach swim. This weekend is sure to have you feeling calm and relaxed.
For many of us, the compounding of daily stress can go unnoticed until something goes array: chronic pain, poor immunity, insomnia, tension, low energy, a scattered mind and anxiety all become a regular part of our daily existence.
Here’s an opportunity to stop and check in with your mental and physical health, spending time in nature and learning more about settling your nervous system.
Taking the time to pause and bring conscious awareness to your health and well-being can help shift you to a new path of action and make a world of difference for months after.
This weekend retreat is an invitation to unplug and reset. Take the time to reconnect with your body and calm your mind so that you can start the year with a sense of clarity.
At this weekend retreat, we will focus on developing the tools that you can take back to your daily life that will help:
Shift you into a parasympathetic state.
Improve HRV.
Improve your sleep and brain function.
Improve your creativity.
Let you tap into your intuition and develop a deeper connection with your body and mind.
Over this weekend retreat, I will present some of the newer research and understandings on breathwork and yoga tools for health and healing.
Most importantly, I will spend the practical sessions this weekend guiding you through these practices to start shifting your nervous system and brain into a more therapeutic, healing and creative state.

All images on this page are taken at the Killcare property for the weekend. I was recently told this is where the Real Housewives of Sydney filmed an episode of their 'reality' show! Alison of Panchamama also catered for them on the show. So you can say we're on trend. All jokes aside, it is a special spot for what I'm sure will be a great weekend.
If you have any other questions or want to secure a spot for this weekend, please send me an email with your requested accommodation and if you wish to share with a specific buddy to hello@thearmandaclinic.com
Hope to see you at the retreat! Krystle x
FAQ’s

The sessions are layered and appropriate to take at your own pace- ZERO experience required!

We will reach out before the retreat to get a list of your food allergies.
